Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.: Uses and Acquisition Methods

Conquering a level in the co-op game *R.E.P.O.* is no small feat. Once you and your squad reach the Service Station post-victory, you have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and upgrades, including the coveted Energy Crystals. Let's dive into what these Energy Crystals do in *R.E.P.O.* and how you can acquire more of them.

What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?

Energy Crystals are vibrant yellow gems that become available at the Service Station after you complete the first level. Priced between $7K and $9K, they are most affordable early in the game when the difficulty is at its lowest. If you've managed to navigate the initial challenges without too much damage from monsters, you'll have a better chance of purchasing these crystals right away.

Energy Crystals automatically appear in the container once purchased, so there's no need to worry about them not being in the truck like some other items. However, they do lose energy with use and eventually break, requiring replacement to keep the container operational. Typically, one crystal can refill four battery sections of an item, and six crystals are needed to fully charge the Energy Container.

How To Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.

Energy Crystals are exclusively available for purchase at the Service Station, and they can be quite expensive. To ensure you have enough cash to stock up on these essential items, it's crucial to loot and scavenge as many valuables as possible during each level. You'll only be sent to the Service Station by the Taxman if you pass a level with sufficient funds.

In particularly challenging locations, it's sometimes wise to focus on surviving with just enough money to pass the level, rather than risking everything. This strategy helps you maintain your valuables and ensures you can afford those crucial Energy Crystals.

And that's the scoop on what Energy Crystals do in *R.E.P.O.* and how to get more of them. Happy gaming!
